No Bake Lemon Quark Cheesecake #QuarkUpYourLife

Super quick and easy to make, and with under 200 calories per serving, this dessert will satisfy that sweet tooth craving without blowing any New Year’s diet resolutions. This recipe has been made in collaboration with the Queen of Quark.

Happy New Year!

I’m super excited to be sharing this rather decadent, and guilt-free sweet dessert recipe with you this January. If like me, you might be working towards some fitness goals, or just trying to shed that little bit of festive weight gain, but still want to enjoy the occasional treat, then this recipe is for you.

My super easy lemon Quark cheesecake recipe takes only a few minutes to make. The hardest part is waiting for the mixture to chill before eating! It’s lower in calories, and fat, made possible by using light cream cheese and low-fat Quark.

#QUARKUPYOURLIFE ON THE FIRST EVER WORLD QUARK DAY

If you’re not already familiar with it, Quark is a fresh dairy product loaded with protein. It tastes a bit like Greek yoghurt but has a less sour taste to it. it also contains fewer calories than Greek yoghurt, making it an ideal choice for the health conscious.

Quark has been known in Europe since the 14th century, and it can be used fresh as a substitute for soured cream or cottage cheese, in baking and even for beauty treatments!

January 19th is the first ever World Quark Day, celebrating all that is wonderful about this dairy product. Search for the #QuarkUpYourLife hashtag to see what people are making to celebrate.

Step 3: Heat the lemon juice and sprinkle over the gelatine powder. Still until dissolved, checking the mixture by rubbing it between your thumb and forefinger. It will be smooth when it’s ready.

Step 4: Fold the lemon juice into the Quark mixture until combined.

Step 5: Divide the mixture evenly between the four dessert bowls, smoothing over the top.

Step 6: Chill until firm (about two hours) and garnish with fresh fruit, as desired!
